The library is clean, spacious, and well-lit. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. We would normally stay for about two hours so our girls could choose books to be read to and spend quality time with the extensive play sets. To name a few, they have a wholesome section of outfits/roles for pretend play, a huge café with pretend food, light board, train set, and puzzles.

I…read morehad my head down while sitting upright at a table, listening to a lecture with headphones on, and was told I couldn't have my head down--even though I wasn't lying down or disturbing anyone. This rule is overly strict and targets students trying to study or concentrate. Librarians should focus on maintaining the facility and supporting patrons, not nitpicking harmless behavior. A library should be a welcoming space for learning, not a place where students are harassed for quietly minding their own business.

Nowadays, it is a state-of-the-art facility which caters to all age groups and I am getting to learn about what it has to offer (too much to note honestly). First of all, I will note that the staff are excellent - very pleasant, diverse and helpful, not only to someone like myself (with not obvious "disabilities") but to others as well. It is very quiet areas. I have been utilizing the private rooms for peace and quiet to accomplish computer activities and it is definitely much quieter than it was back in 2012 when I would frequent the library while in school for a degree. There is a wide variety of materials to be checked out: I learned about the "Library of Things", which are literally "things" that can be checked out and taken home with you (one of the many perks of being in the IPL district). If you don't know how to utilize the many services, feel free to ask Guest Services and a friendly person there can assist you. My best recommendation is to check out the link to their website: https://ippl.info for more information. No one library is perfect but I believe they would be open to suggestions. :)

Some of the main highlights for us are the plentiful seating and huge sets of magnetic tiles and dominoes. Our girls can easily spend an hour "reading" - which for their age is more like them flipping through the pages and trying to pick up familiar words and objects, or having one of us read to them. A library with enough seating is vital so we wouldn't be occupying a space for too long while others wait. Some libraries have incomplete sets of toys but this one is well-organized and their set of magnetic tiles is very comparable to the ones that we have at home. Our girls cannot seem to get sick of them and would play with them at the Woodridge Library and at home!

Ok, I get it that I waited too long but do not talk down to me like I am an imbecile. You might want to teach these women how to treat people with common courtesy.

Reading is one of my favorite things to do, and I hope to have a library of my own one day--not as large, but inspired by experiences like attending a Chris Collins Top Dawg event in LA, where he, a dealer consultant, has his own incredible library.
